I wouldn't be surprised if a time-skip happened at all. After messing up Impel Down, Sengoku revealing to the world that Luffy is Dragon's son, and whatever shit's about to go down at Marineford, he'll have gained an even bigger reputation and notoriety among the government. A time-skip will enable him to heal properly, the Strawhat's to reunite, and for most of the heat to blow over. To me it seems too dangerous and unlikely that they'll head straight for Fishman Island, which is directly under Mariejois, shortly after the current events when the Marine's will be howling for Luffy's blood.
"Luffy's Last Adventure As A 17 Year-Old"

I can imagine the face-faults now.
Somebody already mentioned the Romance Dawn Version:

Who knows. Haven't we discovered, that very old character designs sometimes found their way into the story (e.g. Boa Hancock).No matter how it will play out in the end IF Luffy grows a couple of years older then I'd be greatly surprised if Luffy won't look like that afterwards. Oda loves being constant even with stuff that was released before chapter 1 (like Garp looking exactly like his Gramps from Romance Dawn for instance).
-
It looks like a rushed concept though.
-
I am half expecting Luffy to get hurt soon and end up with an eyepatch…
I'm pretty sure It came up once that Oda tries to stay away from pirate cliches (i.e the eyepatch, wooden leg etc) or atleast incorporate them in a creative way, and he mentioned that he already had a character with an eyepatch planned.
As for the timeskip/ Luffy aging, even though I've faith in Oda I can't help but feel a little nervous about it.

They might not recognize him if he looks 27, although he'd probably have to hide the hat.
The face faults :O and different comments of every character that knows Luffy throughout the story when they met him again would be hilarious. :D
Edit: The aged Luffy sort of looks like Shanks but with stubble around his jawline.

I completley forgot about Garp slaps forehead.
Man, Luffy the man-child with a beard… He's gonna end up looking like Shanks Junior. -
I wonder if Luffy will get more mature in thinking than he is right now. You know, his personality has not changed through out the series. But now, Oda seems to want Luffy to learn some lessons (with Trollzaru, and more…)

@El:

But he never said that this one certain character wouldn't be Luffy right? Here's the part from back then:
http://www.apforums.net/showthread.php?p=593187#post593187I do hope that this certain character won't be Luffy in the end but I think that given the statement it definitely is a possibility.
-
Ivotas beat me to it. I vote Luffy or BB for mysterious eye-patch man.
-
Luffy will get a double eye-patch.
-
Well, one thing that's for sure is that Usopp needs that time skip badly. :P
-
Nami will get bigger boobs
-
Yeah basically what I meant to say was that Luffy would be eyepatch guy. Would be awesome if he's in a bad state after the war and after the timeskip he comes back with an eyepatch.
The only problem with that is that he already has the scar. Eyepatch + scar would be too much, and we're all too fond of the scar to have it covered with the eyepatch.
-
The scar and the eye patch could be over/under different eyes, not that I want Luffy to have an eye patch. :/
Edit: I vote for Crocodile, he has the hook. Lets give him an eye patch and revival that he hates clocks. xD
-
-
@The:
Anf get more hate.
Like Katy Price :ninja:
-
Actually, the aftermath of the war won't happen in one day. If there's gonna be a new era, a time skip is almost a must. I don't think Oda would handle it with a "5 years later"-sign, though. I rather think it'd be like Chapter 0, where you find out everyone's whereabouts and sometimes there'll be a slowdown to emphazise some major event. If it was to be done in a way like that, at least the story wouldn't feel incomplete. :)
-
Sanji has a hidden eyepatch. That's why he says he'll be the most feared man in the sea.
-
Franky will become more robotic and introduce himself as "SC-S4 Human battle tank relations."
-
Zoro will come back with a bananastache and call himself Greenbeard.
-
Zoro will come back with a bananastache and call himself Greenbeard.
Luffy will call him a banana with a Zoro attached to it. ^^;
-
this can now maybe be a hint that oda takes the series to a more serious tone in the New World..
having luffy now at a full age than, could show us that oda also wants ther manga to be a little more adult..i hope it will be true :)
-
NO!!! One of the great things I love about One Piece is how the growth of the crew in strength as well as the journey to accomplish their dreams is examined step by step with no shortcuts. A time skip would just be a cheap shortcut and ruin that awesome plot theme.
Luffy aging and looking older? Meh, I can dig it if he looks cool enough but still acts the same.
-
Zoro will come back with a bananastache and call himself Greenbeard.
-
Nami will get bigger boobs
And she will be pissed off because Usopp has even bigger boobs than her and doesn't have to wear a shirt.
-
Personally i find the "17 years old Luffy in an aged body" idea TERRIBLE. Hopefully it's not something like this.
-
He will 17 again anyway
-
Luffy will get double eye-patch
Maybe the big secret of One Piece is that Sanji is wearing an eye-patch. Does Oda ever reveal the 7 wounders of One Piece I'm his SBS (sorry a little off topic)

It seem not.
But I think this is pretty much the 7 mysteries, except the last.

Sanji's eye is more mysterious than Dadan. -
What's the setting of the movie?
If the movie is in the future… It could mean that luffy can travel and adventure still until he reaches the setting of the movie...
So, oda can just time skip the movie part and conclude it as canon...
If setting is the New World, luffy can go through FI still.
-
Oda had planned a Shiki arc in the manga, but afterward he used this idea for the movie. If it were in the manga, i wonder in which timeline would it happen.
Do you think Shiki will reappear in the manga, Greg? I has not watched the movie to give a speculation. -
In my pinion I think to avoid confusion, movie 10 was set just after thriller bark unless luffy is still wearing the arm band (which I haven't checked)
-
He isn't wearing it… So, setting must be in the future, I assume NW due to Luffy being 17 for like another 6 months or so...

just taking possible manga-arcs and instead of putting it in the manga, let`s make a movie out of it..great
-
All these discussions about whether the movie is real or not and everyone is avoiding the facts.
1. Q. Can the movie happen right after TB?
A. No. Sengoku is in the movie and knows full-well that Luffy is responsible for the defeat of Shiki. In this case, his little speech where he mentions Shiki in the same breath as Luffy's transgressions with NO mention of such an event makes no sense.
2. Can the movie happen in the New World?
A. No. Luffy is 17 and his last 'adventure' in the comic as a 17 year-old is Impel Down. This is according to chapter titles.
3. Has Oda said the movie is canon?
A. No. Not once.
4. But someone once said the movie was canon.
A. Yes. That was me. ON APRIL FOOLS.
As of now we have no hard evidence to suggest the movie is canon. That doesn't mean Oda couldn't change a few facts to slip it in. But for now, shit didn't go down.

@Don:

I doubt that One Piece as a whole will get a darker tone in the NW because it would simply change what One Piece is.
-
Oh so there's no information towards anything …. Seems dull.
Why would ID be his last?
-
One Piece with the New World won't get darker, but get crazier. More madness.
-
OP will never get 'darker' overall. It will always simply have dark 'parts'.
Oda made this very clear in one of his recent interviews.
I wish I had voice recognition word processors so I didn't have to type the stuff up. I don't have enough hours in the day for it.
-
Haha, I've been thinking about how the SH crew would look older. But for the epilouge (Which I have an Idea for like the last few pages xD).
Usopp should dress like Yasopp in Chapter one. With a headband saying Usopp, though. And he should have a bit of a beard.
Zoro should have a bit longer hair (Not much) and it should just be messy. And a beard, too xD
Luffy should also get longer hair (Maybe like Ace's) and a….beard >_> Like the one in Romance dawn.
Brook, Franky, Robin and Chopper would stay pretty much the same.
Nami and Sanji I don't know. Maybe bothe of Sanji's eyes will be covered xD. Like the guy from Alabasta.. -

wow owned
so all the talk of this movie being cannon came from you on april fools day damn
lol
-
Was luffy's b-day during ID?!
He didn't age "10" years, he just lost ten years… It sounds funny, but if that was the case, movie = after ID since marineford has to be an adventure due to "Romance" often including wars and battles: therefore, it would count as an adventure...
-
Maybe bothe of Sanji's eyes will be covered xD. Like the guy from Alabasta..
there is a character from Gintama that I thought of when you said that, I forget his name but maybe somebody has a picture, he has both eyes covered but has more curls.
-
Is Oda talking about "biological age" by chance?
-
WhatTheFuck-ery ???
TimeSkip - I don't know whether that'll be great or fucking awful !
Ont the one hand, you've got a whole new angle, and all the redesigned characters.
(Unless time-skips only for the final few chapters). But on the other hand, you've got the chance that the manga will no longer be the One Piece you fell in love with. -

But on the other hand, you've got the chance that the manga will no longer be the One Piece you fell in love with.I'd find it aweful because we've been with Luffy on his adventure from day one for 12 years now. And with a timeskip it would be as if we get kicked out and then let in again at a later point. It somehow messes with the connection the reader has with the protagonist and his growth.
-
Your point is basically my opinion Ivotas. Which is why I could live with it if it took the sleeping beauty approach accompanied by some interesting montage scenes. But that just seems so….typical. And that's a word I've never associated with the man before.
-
I know I posted this theory in another thread before but I like the idea:
The side effects of Iva's hormones let Luffy age. So no time skip in storyline but he gets older (that's why it's his last arc as a 17 years old).
Further Iva said, the hormones will shorten his life.First I thought that means he dies with eg 50 years when he supposed to die with 60 years.
But maybe he means he ages faster or "skip" a decade in terms of his biological age.Hope you get the idea, I don't know to pull that in the right words :/
-
Sanji's new (Older) design:
And, uh I mentioned a guy from Alabasta. I meant Brahm:

That's my thoughts too. ^^; This way he gets older but no story is skipped.
